Program Description:

Automated test equipment maintenance technicians inspect and test munition and munition instruments and machinery to ensure optimal operational availability and safe operation. Working in Qatar’s navy, automated test equipment maintenance technicians read and interpret mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation drawings; maintain munition and instrument components to control munitions; perform troubleshooting; diagnose munition problems; and test equipment faults. Automated Test Equipment Maintenance technicians carry out maintenance checks compliant with manufacturers’ operating procedures and guidelines.

Focused on electronic and radar applications, Automated Test Equipment Maintenance technicians maintain radio frequency equipment and electronic processing systems. Automated Test Equipment Maintenance technicians play key roles in the navy’s munition maintenance departments.

This applied Technician Certificate - Automated Test Equipment Maintenance (T. Cert. AutoTEM) prepares graduates for a career in the State of Qatar’s Emiri Naval Forces. The program is competency-based with a mix of theory and practical skills development. Students will train in simulated work environments within the College of Engineering and Technology workshops and pilot plants, using current industry standards, and industry-relevant tools and equipment.

Trainees will receive workplace safety training at the beginning of the program. Safety principles will be reinforced and embedded throughout every course and technical tasks will be completed during the program.
